Forty-Nine Steps to Personal Refinement
Day Seven of Week 7: Malchut of Malchut
Examine the
sovereignty of your sovereignty. Does it come from deep- rooted
inner confidence in myself? Or is it just a put-on to mask my
insecurities? Does that cause my sovereignty to be excessive? Am I
aware of my uniqueness as a person? Of my personal contribution?
Exercise for the day: Take a moment and concentrate on
yourself, on your true inner self, not on your performance and how
you project to others; and be at peace with yourself knowing that
G-d created a very special person which is you.
Conclusion
Upon concluding these forty nine days we come to the fiftieth day -
Mattan Torah, when we have fully achieved inner renewal by merit of
having assessed and developed each of our forty nine attributes.
What is the significance of the fiftieth day Mattan Torah? After we
have achieved all we can accomplish through our own initiative, then
we receive a gift (mattana in Hebrew) from above that which could
not achieve with our limited faculties. We receive the ability to
actually reach and touch the divine; not only to be cultivated human
beings who have refined each of their personal characteristics, but
divine human beings, who are capable of expressing above and beyond
their defined hum an emotions, but actually express that which is
unexpressable and undefinable in human terms; the most intimate
emotions that transcend the forty nine defined attributes.
